Experience Level: 3-5 years L2

Role Summary

The Sr. Software Engineer - I builds and maintains software features as part of an agile engineering pod. This is a mid-level individual-contributor role expected to work independently on well-scoped features and begin contributing to design decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain application features across the full stack (or assigned layer) per sprint commitments
• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code following team coding standards and design patterns
• Participate in code reviews - both giving and receiving feedback - to uphold quality standards
• Debug and resolve defects across development, QA, and production environments
• Collaborate with QA/Automation Engineers to ensure adequate test coverage before release
• Contribute to technical documentation (design notes, API docs, runbooks) for owned components
• Participate in sprint ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, retrospectives) and provide accurate effort estimates
• Own individual features/modules end-to-end with minimal supervision
• Contribute to low-level design discussions for new features

Required Skills & Technical Competencies

• Frontend basics (HTML/CSS/JavaScript and a component framework such as React or Angular) or backend API development, depending on assignment
• RESTful API consumption/creation and JSON-based data exchange
• Relational database fundamentals (SQL) and basic understanding of NoSQL data stores
• Version control with Git and standard branching workflows (GitFlow/trunk-based)
• Unit testing fundamentals and willingness to write tests as part of the definition of done
• Basic familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and containerization concepts (Docker)
• Effective, responsible use of AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT/Claude) to accelerate delivery while understanding and validating generated code rather than blindly trusting it
• Ability to design a module s data model and API contract independently
• Comfortable working across at least two layers of the stack (e.g., backend + basic frontend, or backend + infra)

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills

• Exposure to microservices or event-driven systems
• Experience working in a client-facing consulting/staffing environment
• Interest in one specialization track (data, DevOps, AI) for future growth

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 3-5 years of hands-on software development experience

Key Competencies

• Strong learning agility and receptiveness to feedback
• Clear communication of technical progress and blockers
• Ownership mindset over assigned tasks
• Collaborative, team-first attitude

Life @ Our Organization

We hand engineers genuinely hard problems - modernizing a bank s data platform, building the backbone of a fintech product, standing up systems that run at enterprise scale - and trust them to own the outcome. You won t be a cog in a big machine; you ll be the person who knows the system best.

• A real learning culture - certification sponsorship, conference passes, internal tech talks, and dedicated time each sprint to go deep on a new tool, language, or the AI stack you use daily
• Ownership from day one: you ll ship things clients actually use, not busywork buried under five layers of sign-off
• Direct access to architects and founders - good ideas get heard without a fifteen-person approval chain
• A front-row seat to marquee enterprise and government engagements across BFSI, utilities, and public-sector clients in the UAE, India, and beyond
• A flat, feedback-rich team where debate is welcome and titles don t decide who s right
